Electrons can be elusive, but Cornell researchers using a new computational method can now account for where they go—or don't go—in certain layered materials. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Honeybees have evolved over time to skillfully build hexagonal honeycomb cells. Why might a hexagon be a suitable shape for storing honey? Could other shapes, such as circles, triangles, or squares, ...

(Nanowerk News) Graphene is the wonder material that could solve the problem of making ever faster computers and smaller mobile devices when current silicon microchip technology hits an inevitable ...

This paper investigates pattern formation resulting from the interaction between steady modes with wavenumbers in the ratio 1: 2. A two-layered Rayleigh-Bénard problem with infinite extent is examined ...

In the iconic "Sound of Music" score, "My Favorite Things," a young Julie Andrews lists snowflakes as objects that bring her ...

In fact the bees simply make cells made of wax that are circular in cross-section. These circular cells are packed together like a layer of bubbles. The wax is softened by the heat of the bees’ bodies ...
